Exit interviews. Montreal Canadiens locker clean out day quotes.

Vanek was the first to speak to the media, and credit where credit is due, at least he didn't conveniently 'forget' media day like Ryder did last year.

Here's what the impending UFA had to say.

First of all, he made no injury related excuses for his poor play towards the end of the playoffs:

Injured? #Habs Vanek: "Nothing big. Bumps and bruises. It's the playoffs."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

He didn't, however,enjoy that Therrien separated him from the DD line:

#Habs Vanek: "I was put in a position to do well here and once I got moved (switched linemates) I struggled, couldn't find chemistry."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

Despite the loss, Vanek thinks he can win in Montreal:

#Habs Vanek: "I want to go somewhere where I can win." -Can you win here? "Certainly."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

His experience in Montreal seems to have been quite positive:

#Habs Vanek: "I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Bergevin made me feel at home, was always there for me."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

#Habs Vanek: "It's a game where you can't do it yourself and certain nights I just couldn't find it, chemistry wasn't there."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

The captain was up next:

#Habs Gionta: "We thought we had a great chance this year."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

#Habs Gionta: "The fans are always behind us, it's amazing to have them. My family and I love it here."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

He spoke briefly about his UFA status:

#Habs Gionta on contract: "Nothing has been discussed yet. I'll leave that to Berg' and my agent."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

Past tense? hmmmm...

#Habs Gionta: "We had a great run. We fell short, it's disappointing in that regard but, I've loved it here."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

Peter Budaj showed why he's all class:

"I had to show my support. He's my teammate and had the same logo on his shirt. It wasn't always easy" Peter Budaj on Dustin Tokarski

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

#Habs Pacioretty: "I don't like to judge my game based off numbers. I've started playing a better defensive game and that's rewarding."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

#Habs Pacioretty: "I've added a new element to my game on the penalty kill and I'm happy about that."

— Chantal (@habsgirl4life) May 31, 2014

He's thankful it wasn't worse:

It will not require surgery:

Sigh....
